LAUGHING

You ask about the source of comedy
Why only nonsense quietly perceived
Non sequiturs wrapped up in lily pads
Disasters imagined reasonably

Nonsense is the last refuge of geniuses
It’s never out of place or verboten
Its gastric juices contain vintners’ tears
It is mellifluous when served with partridge eggs
+
Nonsense sans heaven’s tragedy I think
Like giving credence to F. Nietzsche’s blink
Or letting filthy water rest in sink
Or lacking taste and allowing a wink
